NEW BEDFORD — Things definitely clicked for the Whaling City Camera Club which earned a second place award in the New England Camera Club Council's Winter Print Competition in the Black & White Class B Category held earlier this month.

WCCC member Robert Smith's image "Samurai" earned an individual second place ribbon in the Black & White Class B category and Jim Mahaney earned an honorable mention ribbon in the Color Image category, according to a news release.

Also competing and contributing to the club's second place finish were Scott Story, Scott Gomes, and Doris Copley.

"Our members are very happy and proud of our success at this high level of competition," said WCCC President Eric Birkeland, in the release. "Our club continues to strive to provide opportunities for every level of photographer. The club's success in such a prestigious competition is a direct result of our education programs."

A total of 20 camera clubs from throughout New England entered the competition hosted by the Quiet Corner Camera Club of Mansfield, Conn. There were 157 prints submitted for review by three NECCC certified judges in three categories, Color, Black & White Class A, and Black & White Class B.

The New England Camera Club Council (NECCC) is a non-profit umbrella group for camera clubs in the New England states (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.) The Council was established in 1937 and incorporated in 1963.
